This forms a part of a verse appearing in Vishnu-Purana (1.19.41)

The whole verse reads as follows :

"That is (right) action which does not conduce to bondage

(Karmabandha in the Bhagavadgita sense); that is (true)

knowledge which conduces to final liberation or spiritual

emancipation; (any) other action would cause (mere)

exertion; (any) other knowledge implies mere skill in craft."

Vice Chancellor's Message

M.Tech. in Computational Techniques (M.Tech.CT) is a four semester

advanced programme jointly offered by the School of Physics and by the

Department of Computer and Information Sciences. This course is designed

after consulting various research institutes such as DMRL, BHEL (R&B),

NGRI, NRSA and CCMB, etc. The first two semesters of the course will not

only cover the basic computer courses such as Computer Organization, Algorithms,

Data Structures, Programming Methodologies, Monte Carlo Techniques and

Wavelet Transforms. The students will also be exposed to Image Processing,

Cryptography, Quantum Computing, Pattern and Speech Recognition. Apart from the

course work, the students will do a full one year project work. This course is

unique in training students with comprehensive exposure to modern Computational

Techniques with relevant knowledge in Physics and Computers.

The rigorous training that the students receive in this carefully designed course

will enable them to handle real world challenges in many key areas such as

Telecommunicat ions, Bioinformat ics and Informat ion Technology. The

organizations and industries in need of such trained people will find our students

to be well suited to their requirements.

I wish the M.Tech (CT) students all the best in their career.

Sincerely yours

The University

University of Hyderabad, established in 1974 as a Central University by

an Act of the Parliament of India, is one of the most prestigious institutes in Indiafor undergraduate and postgraduate education and research. Its campus spread over2300 acres, is an oasis of calm in the midst of a bustling city, providing the idealenvironment for the pursuit of academic and intellectual activities.

University of Hyderabad, has been declared a ‘University with Potential

for Excellence’ by the University Grants Commission, awarded the top grade ofA***** on a five-point scale A* to A***** by the apex council of NAAC, rated as‘ High Output – High Impact ’ by NISSAT (National Information System forScience and Technology) and rated as the NUMBER ONE UNIVERSITY in Indiafor higher education in the Sciences in India in a survey by DSIR (Department ofScientific and Industrial Research).

The “Objectives of the University” as envisaged in the Act are: “to

disseminate and advance knowledge by providing instructional and researchfacilities in such branches of learning as it may deem fit and by the example of itscorporate life, and in particular to make special provisions for integrated coursesin humanities and science in the educational programmes of the University andto take appropriate measures for promoting inter-disciplinary studies and researchin the University.”

Library FacilityThe Indira Gandhi Memorial Library is the first fully computerized University Library

in the country. The Library is the first to establish a Digital Library as a model with

assistance from UGC. The Library's collection includes over 3,00,000 books and other

teaching materials apart from subscribing to 600 print and 11,000 on-line full text journals.

Games and SportsThe University Campus is a center for games, sports, recreational activities and for

all competitive programmes. There is a multipurpose playground on the campus for games

such as cricket, football, volleyball, ball-badminton, tennis, basketball and athletic events.

Modern facilities for physical conditioning are available at the New Indoor Gymnasium

along with facilities for Table Tennis, Shuttle Badminton, Chess and Caroms. Both

intramural and extramural competitions are planned in such a way that students are able

to participate regularly in games sports activities through out the year.

Center for Modeling, Simulation and Design (CMSD)

The University of Hyderabad, Always appreciates the inter-dependence ofScience, Engineering and Technology, and has launched a uniquely conceived newprogramme of higher education and research. The need for computation in all areas ofresearch and teaching at the University has led to the establishment of CMSD with thesupport from UGC and also from DST under its FIST programme.

The CMSD is conceived to provide High Performance Computing (HPC)capability not ordinarily available in India and in educational institutions. It hopes tonurture cross-disciplinary bridges, which are effective in generating new knowledge andcreative explorations.

The primary goals of this facility are directed towards:

1. Developing skills in formulating real life problem as tractable mathematicalmodels that can be solved by state-of-art computational methods;

2. Training individual specialists and organization in the latest Hardware andSoftware, there by augmenting the technological base in the country and finally;

SEMESTER II- Monte Carlo Techniques and Molecular Dynamics- Evolutionary Computing- Dynamical Systems and Chaos- Image Processing- Algorithmics- Data Structures and Programming in C

The students after completing the M.Tech (C.T) course are expected to bewell equipped with different computational techniques applicable in different areas ofPhysics, Computer Science and other related sciences. This is a 4-semester coursewith last two semesters wholly dedicated for Project-work. The students areselected through a nation wide entrance test followed by an interview.

In India, University of Hyderabad is one of the two esteemed Institutes tooffer a dynamic course in scientific Computation. The other one being the IndianInstitute of Sciences, Bangalore.

The course material is subject to frequent revival according to the needsand the development in the field. Students of this course take classes with otherstudents coming from myriad backgrounds like Mathematics, Statistics, Electronics &Computer Science. Throughout the 4 semesters the students interact with otherstudents doing their M.Tech (CS & AI) and MCA. This exposure is expected to benefitthe students of M.Tech (C.T) to develop themselves as multi-faceted professionals.

In Due Course the Students are trained to acquire state of art ComputationalSkills in various programming languages such as MATLAB, C/C++, FORTRAN, etc.on Linux platform
